    Hmmm, funny thing is i do use 89 octane from iowa that is made out of ETHANOL so that could explain it.

    I put a bottle of HEAT in and tried starting it. It didnt run again. I floored the gas pedal and turned the ignition on and tried starting the car while flooring the gas pedal and that didnt work.

    Did I try too soon?

    Should I wait over night to try again? Well, i did the heat thing yesterday so today is the "over night". So when I get out of classes I will try again.

    Do you think it will solve anything?

    Have you tried shaking the car, seriously. This can move the gas mixing it so it is not all water you suck up, but also will move the gas from one side to the other. Maybe there isn't enough gas on the pump side. Or you could just add several gallons of some gas to the tank.

    I'll try shaking the car he he. But are we sure that this is the problem? It seems to be, right?

    thanks Brandon
